Can a pad (rythm) be triggered by an external midi device?

Hi,

I would like to be able to trigger the pads remotely. I assigned them to Rythm Pattern.
Can an external midi device trigger these pads like I pressed them on the Fantom G itself?

Thanks.

Not the PADs specifically no ;-),
but you can trigger the Drum sounds from an external MIDI controller/Pad, provided you send the right SySex messages.

Paulo! I am ashamed of you! Sending sexually explicit messages is strictly forbidden here, at the Roland Clan.

You and Sy, whoever he is, should stop "sexting" at once!

But could you be more specific? I checked the midi implementation and could not find a clue how to trigger a rhythm phrase.

I'm out of options. I tried to record the messages once the pads were pressed, but the only thing recorded are the actual notes of the rhythm pattern itself. The trigger is not sent as a midi message.
Another option was to trigger it by keys, but I need a remote keyboard to trigger them. And although the Remote Keyboard Switch has been switched on, a remote keyboard apparently cannot be used to use trigger RPS or Rhythm patterns.
